With southpaw Mark Hendrickson on the mound for the Florida Marlins, it is no wonder that the Mets' six-run fourth inning was ignited by Pagan and Church, both of whom responded to their critics by scorching RBI-hits. With no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, Pagan ripped an 0-1 curveball down the third base line, scoring Carlos Beltran with an RBI-double. Church followed with an RBI-single off Hendrickson, extending the lead to 2-0. It was a situation uniquely tailored for these two corner outfielders, and both players answered the bell. It's great to win on Opening Day, but positives signs such as this could prove more significant in the long run.
